Do you sit in this boat or kneel???

[eskimoroll]

@powershop1903 This is a kayak so I'm sitting in it.

What kind of Jackson kayak is that?

[eskimoroll]

It's a 2006 (second generation) Jackson Allstar.

wow.. nice cartwheels and loops, I wish I had that H2O-paddle.. (maybe) see you on the water..!

[eskimoroll]

Thanks! I love my H20 paddle and having tried almost every other paddle on the market, it's the one that worked best for me. The santoprene hand grips are wonderful, the neutral bent shaft is very comfortable, and as a playboater, I like the aggressive wide grip.

nice tricks man! i lol'd at the sea kayakers chilling out during the whole video :D

Two secrets for cartwheeling more fluidly:

1) don't lean forward too much on the bow-end - the key is to keep your body perpendicular to your boat at all times; and consequently your head should be higher than your shoulders when on the bow

2) turn your head to spot your stern entering the water; this will ensure your body is wound up enough to get the stern through while staying ahead of the boat's rotation.

Try those and tell me what you think.

h2o paddles are ok, i hav hada set for 1year and the biggest problem was the blades came off, not snapped. a bit of glue later and they were good as new

i don't do much WW but if i ever do i will most likely splash out on something really tough like a set of straight werners.

WTF is this coming into my subscription box now

[HarryKayaker]

@eskimoroll I heard they break really easy on WW, i know someone that got through 3 in 6 weeks on WW action!

This is not an 2006 allstar it`s an 2007 allstar

sweet vid

see I don't know.. I've had my H2O for about 5 years now and I've had no troubles with it. The shaft doesn't even take in water. I think they are great paddles. I paddle in Ontario Canada on the Ottawa.
